For adding additional Soda Ash, get some dollar store dirt cheap salt shakers! I keep one where I dye and it's really easy to just sprinkle on as much as I want and it disperses nicely. :)

what does adding soda ash do, I assume with power dying?

@BLKMGK4

Ай бұрын

@@mariahawk5 the Procion dye binds with the natural fiber but requires an alkaline PH. The soda ash produces that but when you use large amounts of ice sometimes the volume of water weakens the solution. Adding some on top in addition to what the material was soaked in helps this issue. If the solution is too weak the dye isn’t as bright or doesn’t bind well and washes out. After the shirt sits awhile the dye stops binding and we wash out what’s left. If the material completely dries out that hastens that too so you’ll see people put shirts in bags to keep them moist. Need temps over around 70f too and hot water near boiling can speed the reaction dramatically. I sometimes use the microwave too 😇 Hope that helps!

Wow! Love it! I usually think geodes look too busy so I really really love this. Lots of depth in the shading but not overwhelming.

I love this😃

I see now what I am doing differently with my geodes. I need to start at the bottom of my geodes so I can have more of them. Thanks Steph for another great tutorial!!!

I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS SHIRT!! I think this is one of my favorites! Seriously, I really love the ways the colors blended and flowed very naturally. Gorgeous!

I love the necklone/bust area! I always invariably start at the tip of the geode, I dont usually create long geodes though just 2 or 3 circles then I incorporate another in or go in another direction, but I don't do large items like tshirts either.

Beautiful. I think using similar colors makes it look really good. It’s not so busy.

Cool shirt. Great detailed tutorial. Thanks for sharing Steph.

I really like the geode pattern. There’s something super interesting about it. Beautiful as always!! 💙💙💙

Rockin’ it as always, Steph! I just LOVE it!!! I’ve gotten some George long-sleeves, but I’ve never tried any of their short-sleeves. I like longer shirts over slimmer fitting jeans or yoga pants. Great info! Thanks so much! Can’t wait to try a geode for myself (Mom has been begging me for a lapis lazuli styled shirt; I’m more of an amethyst kind of girl. 💜)

I love it! I just got a package of George shirts and they come out so much softer than others I've used.

Awesome. I can't wait to ice dye my first geode 2nite. Thanks for your work.☮️💙🙂

Awesome. And your first one too! Beautiful geodes ♥️

Oh wow!! That's just beautiful ❤️

It looks fantastic Steph even if it was your 20th one it’s gorgeous thanks for sharing I appreciate everything❤️✌️

OMG!!!! This really works..........I was skeptical about letting it set in the muck dye but it WORKS!!!! I wish I could send a pic of my shirt, it's amazing and the best shirt I've ever done! The secret to getting the geode lines is to tie the sinew as tight as you can. I'm stunned with my results! Thanks for sharing your technique.

I saw the thumbnail, and I thought to myself...it probably took her an hour to unwrap that...lol Unwrapping sinew is the worst. You end up flinging dye water everywhere and all over yourself. I like that brand of shirt because they really drape well (I think that was the term you were looking for). It was a pretty shirt...great for a first time. Geodes aren't really my thing, but this one really was pretty.

That was very educational with an exceptional outcome.. Appreciate the websites as well

Hi! Questions for you- First, thx so much for narrating and explaining WHY you do things. I've noticed women do great tutorials, and are helpful teachers. (Not bashing men. Mr Tie Dye explains things also.) I appreciate you! 2 Questions - have you tried round sinew vs flat sinew, or flat sinew of different widths? What does it do? Also, can you use different colored sinew to mark off different areas in very intricate designs to keep visual track of what you're doing? Would colored sinew affect the fabric and cross transfer color?

@BelladonnaDyesCo

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the compliment. I know what you mean. Most men say 600 less words a day than women. Flat or round doesn’t matter, both work. I prefer the flat because it covers more surface area but the difference between the two is minimal. The color of the sinew makes no difference whatsoever. I’ve never had an issue with the color transferring to the fabric. I’ve used white, brown & purple. I’ve seen others use just about every color of the rainbow. Hope this helps. 😁❤️🌈

Your first geode t-shirt? I wouldn’t have thunk it, it looks great! 👍 My first time was on a pillowcase..my first geode I mean 🤪 I’m really enjoying your other channel Steph, it puts my mind in a good place..

Looks beautiful, I bought a swim suit cover up recently that I’ve been really wanting to do a geode pattern on. I’m a little afraid, but when I get my sinew puller, I’m going to take the plunge. It finally started moving earlier this week, but with all the stuff going on right now it might take a while. Anyway, I was looking at your shirt in the fb group, opened the comments and someone had posted one they made. I thought it was really pretty. It reminded me of the inside of a gem rock 😂. So I went to go search and realized that’s what a geode was haha. I felt like an idiot 😆 . So I didn’t comment because I thought they’re going to think I’m stupid for saying oh it reminds me of pretty gem rock. After sleeping on it and watching your video, I decided to share.

No pink splits from the Wedgwood Blue. Interesting. Any time I have used Wedgwood Blue in ice dye , I have gotten pink and purple splits. perhaps the darker blues overpowered them this time.

Gilda se are small? I got one from a ministry I volunteered with and it’s a nice big shirt. Not the finest of fabrics but very generously cut. This was though. I’m still wearing the shirt!
